Where can I have my ads show? Comparing Google Search advertising to Google Display Advertising

In order to understand Google search advertising or Google AdWords versus Google display advertising it is important to know the difference between both types of Google advertising . While in Google search advertising , the way it is done is that Google sells sponsored advertisement listings better known a AdWords . These sponsored listings appear on the right side of the page when people search for information through Google’s search engine. These are text advertisements and can be searched for using the right keywords. So whatever keywords you want your ad to appear on the search page for, Google allows you to bid for that keyword. The ranking of such ads are done by Google on parameters such as Cost per click, click through rate and the quality of the landing page.

Therefore Google search advertising is very effective when you want your ads to appear on search engine pages. Using the right keywords in such sort of advertising can throw you to the top of any search results. You could even choose to drive more traffic to your website. Google has a search network and Google’s Adsense. If you put up your advertisement on either, this will enable you to drive traffic to your website.

Google is now focusing on its Display advertising for promotion. In order to launch a display ad the following factors must be taken into consideration:

  • Deciding the service or the product that you would like to promote. It makes sense to narrow down to product lines rather than have a campaign which is very general. This helps you improve focus on a particular product campaign rather than go too wide
  • The next thing to do is to put up your ad on the display networks. Then you have to decide where you want your ad to be put up. You must have a specific campaign strategy in mind
  • Last but not the least you should settle on your preferences for bidding and creating a budget for your display ad. Bidding allows you to steer more traffic to your ad

There are several Google Marketing companies that are professional and help you with your internet marketing and advertising needs. These professional have trained resources working for them who specialize in helping you create the perfect search or display ad for your products or services. These are vendors who work with many clients and are usually specialized in the area of PPC for a particular product/service line. Make sure you look at ad from the same product/service lines as your to evaluate whether or not they are appealing and if the information mentioned on them is correct or whether they are easily navigable or not. That will give you a benchmark of how you would like your display or search ad to be. Also for PPC ads, it is important to ensure that the keywords finalized will actually give you visibility. Then make sure you link in context to the site. Finally if you have a display ad you must make it catchy and attractive to viewers.
